Many things are changing – from new technologies such as artificial intelligence to business models and value creation. We support top executives in making their companies fit for the future. We combine strategic consulting with operational implementation to achieve measurable success.
As a CXO, you are simultaneously a strategist, explainer and decision-maker. You are expected to think ahead to tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It is challenging to keep an eye on the big picture as a CXO alongside demanding day-to-day business.
As an independent and discreet supporter and sparring partner for top management, CO_TRANSFORMING helps accelerate innovation. For the future viability of your company and the business locations of Germany and Europe.
Innovation is not an add-on to your daily work. Nor is innovation a sprint or a short-term endeavour. Innovation is highly complex and must be deeply embedded in your overall long-term strategy, corporate culture and processes. There is no magic formula for this. Only a tailor-made strategy will make your transformation successful.
We support you in developing your own innovation strategy. We balance short-term financial goals with the necessary investments in long-term growth. We work with you as a partner to implement and execute these innovation strategies.
In our work, we also rely on artificial intelligence as a key to optimising business processes and creating sustainable solutions. Our AI consulting services help you tap into the potential of AI for your business in a targeted manner, whether it’s automating processes, optimising data analysis or improving decision-making.
Our strategic consulting services are your lever for sustainable growth, future-proof productivity and competitive advantages. We analyse your business environment and define strategic innovation goals in line with your corporate vision. This opens up areas for innovation and action that can be implemented at departmental and technical level.
The results serve as a basis for decisions regarding further cooperation and the development of a customised CXO dashboard with success metrics for your innovation management. Based on this, we work with you to develop your tailor-made path to greater innovative strength. Two key management questions arise here: make or buy? Internal or external? Together, we analyse whether in-house innovation offers strategic advantages or whether cooperation with external start-ups and scale-ups is more efficient in order to optimally achieve your innovation goals.
Matchmaking, Intrapreneurship, Innovationshubs. Unsere drei Innovationsformate haben wir gemeinsam mit CXOs, Geschäftsführer:innen und Aufsichtsräten über viele Jahre hinweg entwickelt. Die Grenzen zwischen den einzelnen Formaten sind fließend, sie können sich ergänzen und aufeinander aufbauen.
Matchmaking, intrapreneurship, innovation hubs, hybrid organisation. We have developed our four innovation formats over many years in collaboration with CXOs, managing directors and supervisory boards. The boundaries between the individual formats are fluid; they can complement and complement each other.

A CXO is a collective term for members of a company’s senior management whose titles begin with ‘Chief Officer’. These include, for example, CEO (Chief Executive Officer), CFO (Chief Financial Officer), COO (Chief Operating Officer), CTO (Chief Technology Officer) and CMO (Chief Marketing Officer). The letter ‘X’ stands for the respective area of responsibility.
COBIEs are our employees – entrepreneurs, partners, project managers and matchmakers all rolled into one. COBIEs think and act entrepreneurially, work with you on an equal footing and ensure that ideas are efficiently translated into results. They work on the basis of data, with high quality standards and clear priorities, connecting you with the right people at the right time for maximum synergy. In short: entrepreneurial courage, collaborative partnership, excellent implementation and smart networking in one role.
Artificial intelligence is a central component of our work. With our AI consulting services, we tap into the potential of AI in a targeted manner — from the automation of recurring processes and the optimisation of data-driven analyses to well-founded support for decision-making processes. The goal is always a measurable impact: faster throughput, higher quality and reliable insights for strategic decisions.
In the first consultation, we clarify the concerns, goals and framework conditions of your transformation project and gain a structured overview of the status quo and priorities. We ask specific questions, identify initial levers and outline possible courses of action, including a rough timeline and next steps. Upon request, we will then arrange an assessment to deepen our insights and create a basis for cooperation. The clear goals here are transparency, speed and a roadmap.
Yes, we offer them. For services specifically tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises, we work with our subsidiary Mittelstand von Morgen (MvM).
